It was Formula One racing at its best
and worst, there was speed, crowds,
plenty of excitement.
There was also stifling heat.
And for residents living near the track,
unbearable noise.
No, I don't like it, but we can
do that and see.
Yeah, there's another movie in
Dubai, and I don't want him, I will turn
on the TV and sit back in the house.
I have a TV ad on here.
It has been four years, but the race is
back. A lot has changed.
A new track is being built.
There are different cars.
They are quiet, there is different
management. And the race is being run
in April, not July.
That means cooler temperatures.
Organizers say neighbors of the race can
pull out their earplugs and enjoy.
I think once they hear the cars, once
they see the event, once they understand
the positive impact of this event will
have on the community, that they'll be
very pleased with it and look forward to
1989 like we are.
And if they aren't pleased, they will be
paid well, sort of if the noise
from the cars reaches a certain level.
Some residents who filed suit in 1984
will be paid for their discomfort, and if
the noise gets worse, they will be paid
even more.
Organizers hope it's a check they never
have to write.
